Rec'd on 🖋️ how to stop hating my father
therapy — or at least talk with someone
sounds like there's some rough history there
maybe a close relationship with your dad isn't in the cards, but for your own sake it may be beneficial to dig into the past with a trained professional and release as much baggage as you can
that way you don't have to carry that father pain into other relationships in the future
I found myself needing to do the same thing, not for the purpose of restoring relationship with my father, but that ended up being a positive side result

That's something I definitely have thought about of course, but it is good to hear from the outside. Nice to hear your experience with it as well. Probably would help me let things go you're right.

that's so awful
i truly believe that relational trauma is best healed through engaging with safe people again... it can be hard to build up that muscle again when your whole body is screaming to protect itself. but maybe baby steps? try trusting a little at a time and letting ppl earn your trust. you can also practice this in safe settings such as individual or group therapy. those are more protected/guardrailed ways of healing relational wounds.

No one gaf about ur trauma
I mean this in the most positive and affirming way.. NOT EVERYTHING CAN, SHOULD OR WILL BE “RESOLVED” and you will have to carry some weight in life. We all have some shit. The sooner you realize this fact the freer you will be I promise. My dad hates me too bruh like we need to buck up at some point … not every boo boo gets a bandaid

Look - go to therapy
It’s not glamorous and there’s a period where it feels really bad and it’s like why would I trust this freak with my deepest, darkest. But then after a couple years something will happen that you used to freak out about and you will notice that you’re not freaking out and you’ll realize that it took years to create your issues and it’s taking years to undo them but it’s happening.

no video on pi.fyi
this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

necessary endings
this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
